Experiences with species These Coucals are often heard on wetter days, giving them their name of "Rain Bird", as they often call before a rain storm. In the northern parts of the region it can be confused with Senegal Coucal, however that lacks barring on the rump, and also has a brighter red eye. Other names: White-browed Coucal (eBird still lumps the 2 species), White-eyebrowed Lark-heeled Cuckoo (in Layard's works) |
